In case you missed it, community legend mantelo is going to the WSOP Paradise thanks to PokerStrategy.com and GGPoker

Our hero is very grateful to GGPoker for helping him play this bucket list event, so there are three ways to win a piece, whether you have a GG account or not.

If you can do more than one of these things, you will increase your chances of winning a 1% stake.

  1. 10% available for all members: 10% will be raffled in 10 x 1% increments to anyone who opts-in to this thread by wishing Mantelo luck in the WSOP Paradise Main Event by December 6.
  2. 15% available for GG Players: An additional 5% will be raffled in 5 x 1% increments to any PokerStrategy.com tracked GGPoker account (New and existing) that earns at least one StrategyPoint between November 3 and December 6. This in addition to the forum opt-in above means 15% of the 20% is available to this group. 
  3. 20% available to New GG Players: A final 5% will be raffled in 5 x 1% increments to any new accounts making their first deposit on a PokerStrategy-tracked GGPoker account between November 3 and December 6. If those players also earn 1 SP and opt-in, they have the most chances to win.

The draw will take place on December 8, just before the Main Event starts. 

Opt-in to win a share of Mantelo's Main Event

*The 20% is based on Mantelo's first bullet in the Main Event, if he plays a second that does not count towards this promotion. This is a private initiative by Mantelo which PokerStrategy.com has helped to organise. Mantelo will do his best to take care of fast settlement with any winners and find suitable payment methods after any tax has been deducted.

What's going on? Did I miss somehting?

Mantelo is ready for a big journey!

mantelo really appreciates the opportunity he has been afforded and has pledged to share it with the PokerStrategy.com community:

"My first steps in poker were taken with PokerStrategy.com and throughout my career, I always tried to improve myself with the material it provided. So naturally I want to give something back and hopefully, it could kickstart someone's career too."

He doesn't normally sell action when he plays, so this is a big opportunity, he told us:

"I tried to sell a couple of times but I felt kinda bad for other people if I bust out of the tournament before reaching money. So recently I decided not to put more pressure on myself and play on my own completely."

This is different, however, because he is giving away 20% of his action for free*, so no added pressure! Along with PokerStrategy.com you can also expect plenty of coverage to rail him while he is in the Bahamas:

"My PokerStrategy.com blog will be the thing to follow. At the end of each day of playing, I will update my tournament situation and the most interesting hands, as well as the overall feeling of the festival and venue."

If you are railing the live updates, look out for his real name Mantas Urbonas.
